SUMMARY:Robert Hass and Essy Stone Mill Valley Library
DESCRIPTION:This event is cosponsored by Poetry Society of America and the Mill Valley Library. This is sure to be a packed event\, so register on the Mill Valley Library website starting on October 15. \n \nRobert Hass\, former United States Poet Laureate\, has illumined the poetic landscape with his many books of poetry\, translation\, and essays. His honors include the National Book Award\, and the Pulitzer Prize. His celebrated books of essays include A Little Book on Form: An Exploration Into the Formal Imagination of Poetry and What Light Can Do: Essays on Art\, Imagination\, and the Natural World\, the recipient of the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay. Hass translated many of the works of Czeslaw Milosz\, and he edited Selected Poems: 1954-1986 by Tomas Transtromer; The Essential Haiku: Versions of Basho\, Buson\, and Issa; and Modernist Women Poets: An Anthology (with Paul Ebenkamp). His many honors include the MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship\, the National Book Critics’ Circle Award (twice)\, and the Wallace Stevens Award. His poetry is deeply reflective of the California landscape\, domestic life\, and spiritual awareness. To hear him read or speak is transformative\, whether a Haiku from Issa\, a mediation from Miłosz\, or his own lyric work. \n\n\n\n\nEssy Stone is a PhD student in poetry at the University of Southern California. She holds an MFA from the University of Miami\, and recently completed a Wallace Stegner Fellowship at Stanford University. Her work has been published in the New Yorker\, 32 Poems\, and Prairie Schooner. Her first book\, What It Done to Us\, was awarded the Idaho Prize in Poetry and was published by Lost Horse Press in 2017. For much of her life she supported herself as a waitress. Her work reflects the East Tennessee culture in which she grew up\, an often oppressive world\, especially for women or minorities. The freshness of her language and imagery reflect and transform that environment just as she has transformed herself.

Over many decades\, she has also collaborated with neuroscientists\, clinicians\, and psychologists to understand how contemplative practice can be a vehicle for social transformation.

Her no-nonsense approach to the emotions that push us to our edge-and can also propel our greatest good-truly inspires. In Standing At the Edge she offers us all a fascinating read and a practical roadmap to fulfilling our personal good work.”\n– Daniel Goleman\, author of Altered Traits and Emotional Intelligence \nRecounting the experiences of caregivers\, activists\, humanitarians\, politicians\, parents\, and teachers\, incorporating the wisdom of Zen traditions and mindfulness practices\, and rooted in Halifax’s groundbreaking research on compassion\, STANDING AT THE EDGE is destined to become a contemporary classic. \nRoshi Joan Halifax\, Ph.D.\, is a Buddhist teacher\, Zen priest and anthropologist. \nGaetano Kazuo Maida is the founder and executive director of Buddhist Film Foundation. \n$12 advance\, $15 door. \nPresented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM.
